When we were on holiday in December, we had the greatest maid in all the land. Her name was Sandra, and I wanted to take her home with me. (OK, full disclosure: it turned out that her name wasn't Sandra at all, but Terry and I spent the entire trip thinking it...

Unlike me, Terry does not feel compelled to write down every single thing that ever happens to him. (I guess that's what he has me for, mind you.) When we go on holiday, however, he does like to record our movements, in a little journal I bought him after his ...

Well, 2011 has come in like a lion, which is a bit weird, really, because that's supposed to be March's job. I wonder what March will come in like now that January's stolen its thunder? (Or its, er, lion, rather.)
First, there was the lurgy. Terry had t...

(Dress, Zara; shoes, eBay)
Yes, yes, I know: I've worn my hair in exactly the same way almost every day since I've been here. In fact, they've stopped calling me "Sailor Amber" and are now calling me "Girl With Only One Hairstyle". It's one part laziness an...

(Dress, PinUp Couture; Shoes, River Island)
Well, the wonderful weather we've been having broke dramatically last night, with a storm which whipped up just as we took these photos, thus explaining my more-than-usually-gormless expression, plus the fact that...

(Dress, Zara; shoes, thrifted)
You see this dress, people? This dress carries a powerful curse, a curse that can only be broken by… actually , I have no idea how the curse can be broken. I expect it involves shopping, though.
See, for the anniversary...

(Dress and shoes: both eBay)
This is one of my favourite dresses, so I'm afraid I may have taken quite a few photos of it...
I'm also afraid to say I'm just going to post them all, because, well, it's easier than writing actual words that'll just...

(Dress, Mango; Shoes, eBay)
OK, so I may have banned any more Zara purchases, but no one said anything about Mango, did they?
Yesterday we went for a walk around town (in absolutely glorious, hot sunshine, I might add), and our route happened to take u...

(Dress: Topshop; Shoes: Zara)
Well, as you can tell from the fact that I’m updating here, we did finally make it to Tenerife, albeit with a bit of a delay and a whole lot of chaos at the airport. The internet access in our hotel, unfortunately (or perhaps f...

(I know it doesn't look like it, but this is a dress: or ar least, it was described as a "dress" on the Topshop website, and when I bought it, last year, I saw several teenagers at the local mall wearing this same dress, with nothing but a pair of sheer tigh...

(Dress, ASOS; shoes, Matalan; brooch and belt, absolutely no idea. Will have to add a cardigan too - even three-quarter length sleeves are too chilly for me in the winter!)
So, you know how I've spent the last week desperately worrying about my holiday next...

... because in December I'm going to be back here:
Tenerife, Canary Islands. I'm up in the mountains at the time, which is why I look so omgfreezing. I'd also just had the flu, thus ruining most of the first week of our trip. And we'd managed to get the...
